Do we know when any punishment will be announced?

Well they first charged Ivan Toney in November and dont seem to be in any hurry to ban him, this surely takes longer and will be drawn out by the lawyers, be amazed if its this season, far more likely this summer or later if at all imho

At the end of the investigation - so years I imagine!

Just think though that if City do get found guilty and they get all their trophies removed and given to the teams that came second or runners up

Spurs still wouldn’t have won anything

Look what happened to Glasgow Rangers...too big in Scotland for the most severe consequences?...well only just. Some would say that the most severe (and in some opinions the right, others the wrong) course of action would have been the new club starting in the top level beneath the Scottish league - instead the club new club was essentially relegated to it's bottom division. But pretty calamitous for the club nonetheless.

Of course in the global picture MC are a very different kettle of fish to Glasgow Rangers (though they are probably equivalent in the context of the very small Scottish picture)...but there could be a good number of very significant European, as well as English, clubs who might push for the most serious of sanctions to be applied,.

What sanctions did Rangers face?

Totally different scenario. They went bust, were liquidated, someone bought the assets, formed a new club, called them Rangers and applied for membership of the league. They were duly admitted to League 2. No sanctions there. You can't "relegate' a new club.

I did choose my words carefully around what should happen for a new club, and what actually happened to the new club in that it was essentially relegated - the important word there being 'essentially'. That the new club didn't actually exist in the league for it to be relegated - well quite.

City beat Rotherham 5-0 in the FA Cup 3rd round a few years, maybe that was the year we could have won our first major trophy!!!!

Mate I was at your game vs Sheff Utd at the weekend, you’re a million light years away from winning anything but the Papa Johns

We managed to hold our own against a top 2 team who are in trouble with the League for financial issues - sound familiar?

Those days are well behind us
I thought Sheff Utd were much the better team, played some nice football as opposed to your long ball game they just lacked a cutting edge. That Rathbone lad was very frustrating, kept trying too many silly first time passes when he had time to bring the ball down and pick something better.

Give it a rest Phil. Some matters football based are above club rivalry.

No, actually the same as Phil, and I can't stand Spurs and their fans rascist chanting they deem is OK. I'm neither Jewish, Muslim or Arabic

I think you'll find Phil was just having a bit of mischievous laugh, I certainly found it amusing.
